[QUOTE="sfs, post: 74884601, member: 8727"] There are some estimates for the number of asymptomatic cases, but they're not rock-solid. Based on extensive testing in Iceland and on the cruise ship Diamond Princess, the asymptomatic rate seems to be around 50%. That's the rate of those who have an infection that can be detected when they're tested. There's always the possibility that there are others who had low or transient viral loads and didn't test positive. On the other hand, it's not clear that everyone who is infected develops immunity. It varies with time and place. Almost everywhere it's only symptomatic people, and in some places (like New York city recently), it's only people sick enough to be hospitalized. So we are undoubtedly badly underreporting the actual number of cases. ETA: serological testing -- testing to see who has developed antibodies to this virus -- should give a clearer picture of the actual extent of infection. It's ramping up in may areas now. [/QUOTE]
